My Index model 55 x feed motor is shot. I was thinking of picking up a Harbor Freight 1/2 hp reverseable motor and wiring it to the drum switch that controlled the now dead 1/4 hp 3 phase 220v motor.
Based on the wiring diagram for the motor from Harbor Freight, the connections should be like this.
The neutral position is not shown since there is no continuity on the contacts. Does it look right?
It looks right to me. I'll just grab the 2 incoming hots and by pass the 3rd coming from the static converter, to refeed the lower drum switch, the main motor ( 3 phase 220v ) and it's 2 speed forward / reverse drum switch will remain untouched. This should fix my x feed drive issue.
